Dylan Moran On Why We Envy Children | Universal Comedy

All great religions are built on shame!
Dylan Moran doesn't like the idea of Jesus as a role model, and much prefers the less whiny Batman.

​@MonsieurA.D Except that as an agnostic with respect for those who believe in mainstream Christianity and, it doesn't appear to be true. After all, church going is an inherently social experience.

[@AFMMarcelD]

@@PGHEngineer I understand you PGHE and sympathize with your sentiment, problem is (in my case) religious people have never been able to understand why I am not one of them, then in those times I care to explain why not, they scorn, push and get very close to hate me, so I stay away from religious groups and cults. The socialization part is a need that comes from our instinct, inclinations and development as pack hunter-gatherers (since the evolution of man) to gather, share socialize and feel good with those who makes us feel good and welcome, preferably those with the same sentiment and ideas same as ours, from what I read it’s a psychological need.

What do you mean children aren't like that? I've been walking into rooms and forgetting why I'm there my entire life. That didn't just suddenly start happening when I became an adult. I've also often been having a conversation where I forgot what I was going to say, oh I remember, nope I've lost it again. Back in high school I use to call up my friend just to tell him something I remembered from an earlier conversation at school and then he'd say, what are you talking about? And I'd say, earlier today we were talking about this and then I forgot but now I've remembered again. And he'd be like that was weeks ago! And I'm actually realizing that was probably the dissociative amnesia from having DID... I always thought everyone had memory lapses like that.
